I tried looking up babies for reference, or other artists drawings of babies, and none of them made it any easier to understand baby anatomy or how to draw a not weird looking baby. I know I skipped a bunch of steps in this drawing but they won’t be much help if I have no idea how to make the drawing work at all. These babies are pretty important because this is a backstory moment for the central main characters establishing the origin of their dynamic so it can’t really be replaced.

I don’t have any other advice that small chubby bodies, and big heads. Other than that it’s mostly just human anatomy. Basically just Chibi. If you can draw chibi you can draw babies.

Like @ArtGremlin wrote.
Use reference, draw them chubby, like in the reference pictures.
Something like a 3 head proportion but you already did that in your drawing

Thank you. I think they already look better now that i have that reference. Though it will probably need more tweaking and I hope that a year from now they don't still look like this.

Three main things about babies...
- They have big heads in proportion too the rest of their body
- They got stubby arms and legs.
- They got a big ol' forehead. Sometimes placing the eyes lower helps
